we learned how to use laser cutter and rhino some stuff

I learned how to edit the speed and power on the laser cutter and use it and in rhino I learned how to measure my box and put text on it.

Today we learned how to use Rhino to make this thing.And we learned how to use the laser cutter to cut the cardboard or whatever material we need to use. 

By using a box designer, it allows us to manipulate the box in Rhino in order to make it unique and add what is needed for the project, such as notches or designs.  Also by placing the notches together, we can trim down the time it takes to get cut and the laser cutter will have fewer cuts to produce.

We practiced using box designer to create a box and learned how to fit the pieces together.

I learned how to create a rhino sketch with different etchings and laser powers for complex designs.

From the process today I experienced in NUVU, one of the main things I learned was the command "Make 2D".  I did not realize the text on my keychain was a 3D object, so I had to make it 2D in order for it to cut properly.  This class time also allowed me to become more confident in Rhino.

I had learned how to create basic forms such as curves and shapes, as well as calculating measurements within Rhino. After, I had to export the files to the laser cutter and allowed for the creation of what I designed.

Today the computer gave me lots and lots of trouble. After sitting for nearly an hour Mr. Judy said i didn't have to proceed in waiting on my computer.  Thankfully I have learned to use rhino in previous years so I will be able to operate rhino.
